Hello, welcome to the thread! What are you currently working on?

I've seen a lot of authors do this, especially with their first books or 'book baby's. One of the things I'm a big advocate of is having more than one project you're working on. That way, you can tinker forever over your darling, but there'll always be something out there in the trenches - either earning you money or earning you clout. It gives you a bit more freedom to be precious over the one book you care deeply about (and over time, you start to see where your book starts to fit into the wider picture better - especially the more novels you successfully market and sell!).

A novel called To The Homeland, I am working on it with my best friend

Yo!

I started off my story-telling endeavors with webcomics, and now I'm transitioning to novels. I can just flat-out produce more work this way. I ain't gonna live forever lol.
Currently working on … a LOT of things. I have 2 on-going comics, and I'm working on a few novellas/novels behind the scenes. I have a few completed comics and finished my manuscript for Secunda (which I'm gradually uploading once a week).

Welcome to the thread, @Blozzy :slight_smile:

@KRWilliams I've never been able to focus on two projects in a full-fledged manner. Maybe it's a weakness. But I live in the realm of reality, with a job that pays well that I have a love-hate relationship with. I keep writing my ideas down, so I can eventually get to them.

Great thing about 2020 - existence of forums like Tapas, RR, Wattpad, and more. You get to have an audience if you're smart and lucky, and you still hold onto your rights.

You have the cover that makes me drool. I loved the first one so so much (and I love this one too, but the painterly style of the first one was UNF).

Thanks! I'm definitely using that for the self-pub cover if it doesn't get picked up! I put hella work into it so heck if I don't use it somewhere LOL
Just these kids and their shojo demands nowadays, gotta play the market on a platform like Tapas, haha~

Hahaha, this was me six years ago when I started writing. Couldn't keep up with comics, so I switched. I'm happy about the choice, but I would like to make comics on the side one day.

Hello there!

Preferred Name: Iris
Pronouns: She/Her
Genres you create: Fantasy (subgenres of high fantasy, modern fantasy, action)
Plans: Improving my art through comics to maybe get a job in that field, but on the writing side, I just want to improve my writing in general to put the worlds in my head out there!

Aside from my comic, I actually have a whole Faelumbre universe project, that started in the novel series I keep redoing called Seventh Core. I wrote the first book manuscript when I was like 16, came back after a bad anxiety period noticing I wrote a lot of problematic shit, and now when I'm tired of the comic, I chip away at the events on it and slowly rewrite the whole series. No idea if I'll pursue a publisher or self-publish, the comic is kind of a test drive for the latter too. I actually registered the book on the country's national library and everything for a publishing house and then they just kind of disappeared when I was ready to deliver the goods, so I didn't bother afterward - VERY MUCH for the better.

Welcome to the thread, ans I feel that, old work can be very painful to look at if you've grown so much. Hey, at least it means that there are visible improvements! A lot of people stagnant and can't really edit/revise their own work anymore.

Me always crying when I know I have to slap a human face on a cover for reads. (One day typography covers shall rise. One day.)

It's getting heated here. Bunch of people joining. Welcome to the thread, everyone! :smiley:

Super excited about getting to know all of you.

In the meanwhile, dropping a message so it doesn't feel like I disappeared. A little past 1 here, so I'm going to hit the bed. Goodnight, everyone.

Much love!

Thanks! It's still good to learn when it's presentable enough, just like a comic page. Now that I'm an adult and things like relationships, government, and wayyyy more mature stuff make sense to me, hopefully I won't spend another many years showing it to no one but my close friends, heh. I actually enjoyed my own writing because I still share a lot of tastes for the cool action scenes and world, but I wrote many many bad couples and huge plot holes simply because I was a bit naive.

Also, from that time to now I became fluent in english, so hopefully I'd be able to translate it without an extremely small vocabulary; though probably still better to hand it over to a professional.

Goodnight @LostSpirit ! See you tomorrow for the first discussion!

Some of the writers I respect most are ESL writers, and I believe that some of them may be gracing this thread as well. I'll be sure to add some stuff about writing outside you first language in future discussions because I think it's super important that it gets talked about.
